Synopsis
This book presents the most complete translation to date of Erwin Schroedinger's work on colorimetry. In his work Schroedinger proposed a projective geometry of color space, rather than a Euclidean line-element. He also proposed new (at the time) colorimetric methods - in detail and at length - which represented a dramatic conceptual shift in colorimetry. Schroedinger shows how the trichromatic (or Young-Helmholtz) theory of color and the opponent-process (or Hering) theory of color are formally the same theory, or at least only trivially different. These translations of Schroedinger's bold concepts for color space have a fresh resonance and importance for contemporary color theory. New & Used

What Reviewers Are Saying
"Particularly impressive in all of Schroedinger's writings presented here is the frank tentative and open approach that he takes. ... The work is interesting and valuable to non-experts, such as some artists, who might find the mathematics hard going." (Ernest Edmonds and Mike Leggett, Leonardo, .leonardo.info, May, 2019)
"I find Niall's translation to be a faithful representation of what I view as Schroedinger's contributions to colorimetry (both fundamental and advanced). ... I stand in awe of Niall's compendium of translations, each done independently of the earlier ones. The arguments one can have about which translation is more 'correct' will be around for a long time and cannot be escaped. For the academician/color-theorist, this book is a must-read." (Michael H. Brill, Color Research and Application, Vol. 43 (04), August, 2018)
